IMPACT OF COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally during 2020 and 2021, but currently appears to be under control. The international response to the spread of COVID-19 led to significant restrictions on travel; temporary business closures; quarantines; global stock market and financial market volatility; a general reduction in consumer activity; operating, supply chain and project development delays and disruptions; and declining trade and market sentiment. All of these factors have and could further affect commodity prices, interest rates, credit ratings and credit risk.

Roscan's Malian operations have to date not been disrupted by COVID-19 and Roscan is proceeding with its exploration activities as long as the work environment remains safe. Roscan has established rigorous controls, prevention measures and a response plan in order to ensure the good health and safety of its workers.

MINERAL PROPERTIES

Kandiole Project - Mali

The Kandiole Project is comprised of ten contiguous gold prospective permits, encompassing approximately 401.8sq. kilometres located within the Kéniéba "Cercle", an administrative sub-area of the Kayes Region, approximately 400 km west of Bamako, the capital of Mali in West Africa. On July 2, 2020, the Company acquired the Dabia South permit (35 sq. kms - renewal date of February 3, 2022) through the acquisition of Komet Mali SARL (note 6), in which the $3,345,661 acquisition cost was expensed in accordance with the Company's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures. In addition, the Company entered into nine option agreements to acquire 100% interest in nine permits, encompassing 366.8 sq. kilometres. Each option agreement requires the Company to keep each permit in good standing and perform all obligations required by law.

A Mining Permit (permis d'exploitation) may be granted for 30 years and is renewable for further periods of ten years until the mineral reserves have been exhausted. A Mining Permit may be granted to the holder of an Exploration Permit or a Prospecting Licence. Holders of a Mining Permit are required to enter an agreement referred to as a "Convention d'Établissement" or "Mining Convention Agreement" with the Malian government prior to the commencement of exploration or mining activities and must begin work within three years. A non- dilutable 10% share is owned by the Malian State, and the State reserves the right to acquire an additional 10% in the future.

Gold explorers and miners are subject to a tax called "Impôt Spécial sur Certains Produits (ISCO)" (Special Tax on Certain Products)". An additional tax called "taxé ad Valorem" has a taxable base equal to the starting value of the tonnage extracted minus intermediary fees and expenses. Gold and other precious metals are levied at a 3% royalty rate.

The purchase price consideration was $3,345,661, which included cash of $1,600,000 and 4,060,336 common shares, having a fair value of $1,664,738. In addition, the Company incurred legal and regulatory costs of $80,923.
